DINOZZO AND BACQUE BEST ROOKS IN IPA
Heading the list of best freshmen in the IPA were Corky DiNozzo of the Kenwood Wildcats and Charles Bacque of the LaGrange Sports. DiNozzo was acclaimed the top rookie in the Tycobbian Union and Bacque copped the Ruthlandian Rookie of the Year trophy. DiNozzo is 19 years old, while Bacque is a bit older at 26.

Corky DiNozzo is a switch-hitting catcher that arrived on the baseball scene in fine fashion, putting up a .320 batting average with 33 home runs, 93 RBIs and 72 runs in his first season, while playing in 126 games. HIs main competition for the rookie award came from Blake Barrister, an outfielder for the Colchester Elites and shortstop Nick Nova of the Ozarka Naturals.

Barrister's speciality was the long ball. He went deep 37 times during the season, batted in 89 runs, scored 98 and hit .269. Barrister led Colchester to a tie for second in the TU South, while Nova played an important role in Ozarka being the runner-up to Pro Cup champion Tuckanarra in the Tycobbian East. Nova participated in 134 contests, scored 91 runs, drove in 67 and had 11 home runs and a .319 BA.

Outfielder Charles Bacque, the RU's top newcomer, was a prime ingredient in LaGrange winning the Ruthlandian North flag. He was one of the Sports best bats with a .298 mark, 28 home runs, 102 runs and 75 runs batted in. Bacque fended off Tony Haskell, Waleska's stylish southpaw, who registered a splendid 18-10 record with a 3.20 ERA in his novice season. Haskell helped the Westerners to triumph in the RU South division. Ranking third in THE ISLANDIAN TIMES freshmen poll was Haskell's teammate and center fielder Jon Lassiter, who parleyed a .302 BA into a great first year. Lassiter scored 97 runs, drove in 63 and popped 7 roundtrippers in 144 games.
